Chapter 744: Chapter 743 Empress Lan’s Story_1 Chapter 744: Chapter 743 Empress Lan’s Story_1 The key to being a spokesperson lies in quality, not quantity.

Being a superstar, Qiao Xiaren typically held endorsement deals that lasted about two years, maybe even longer, keeping her busy without the necessity to take on too many tedious jobs.

Qiao Xiaren lifted the edge of her wide sleeve as she sat next to Chu Yifei, who was engrossed in his script, “What is so captivating that you can’t take your eyes off it?”

Chu Yifei looked up at her and handed over the freshly bought magazines and newspapers, “Just some inside stories and gossips from the entertainment circle. It seems like there’s a newcomer that’s been getting a lot of attention recently.”

To prepare for the character of Monk Minghui, Chu Yifei decided to shave off all of his hair. Fortunately, Chu Yifei was so handsome that he even looked good bald.

Qiao Xiaren glanced upwards, caught sight of a photograph, and found herself attracted to the person in it.

Qiao Anchu?

No, she should be called Liu Ou now.

Taking a closer look, she quickly grasped the content of the news.

A historical drama called “The Legend of Lan Concubine” directed by Li Li is currently in preparation. The series features a stellar cast and is expected to be a two-heroine series. One of the heroines is Tian Xi, a child star who will be playing the Empress.

The other main female character, Concubine Qing, is Liu Ou!

Li Li’s series, needless to say, is a big-budget production. “The Legend of Lan Concubine” is written by a scriptwriter who’s best known for his excellent historical pieces, and everything he writes becomes popular.

Qiao Xiaren, too, gained popularity from his series called Demon Flame, and she was so successful that it brought her fame as one of the industry’s leading actresses.

Therefore, everyone is paying close attention to “The Legend of Lan Concubine”.

Will Liu Ou be the next Qiao Xiaren?

Actors of all levels have been keeping an eye on the progress of “The Legend of Lan Concubine.” An unknown actress playing a main role can only mean some backstage manoeuvring is involved.

She herself had already garnered attention for a scandal involving her, a married man, and the internet. It seems she certainly isn’t short of financial backers!

Although people criticized her, they also couldn’t help but envy her. If she really does become famous, being derided for her past will seem trivial.

Qiao Xiaren read the speculations under the article and suddenly felt that Liu Ou had become more skilled. No longer was she mindlessly seeking trouble with herself; instead, she was seeking revenge in a different way.

She felt the itch to intervene. Besides, she had her own sword in her hand, and it was starving for action.

Qiao Xiaren wasn’t prepared to blame Li Li. Relationships in this industry are complex, and there were valid reasons for him choosing Liu Ou. Besides, very few people were aware of the affairs between Liu Ou and her.

Both Demon Flame and “The Legend of Lan Concubine” were set to air at roughly the same time. As a result, there could be a fierce competition for ratings. Li Li’s productions were always reliable.

“Want to try some food made by my assistant?” Chu Yifei suddenly extended a packed lunch towards her, which contained delicious sushi and desserts.

“Thank you, I won’t stand on ceremony then.” Qiao Xiaren didn’t refuse and picked up a dessert with her chopsticks, the sweet, smooth, and soft texture was indeed impressive.

Both of them were still in their costumes, the contrasting colors of the kasaya and the red robe exuding a charming charm, causing three fans standing not too far away to scream with excitement.

That day, a photo taken by the audience was posted online, causing a flurry of excited comments.

“Ms. Qiao, the director wants me to take promotional photos of you all,” said the young photographer, as he approached and signalled to Qiao Xiaren for posing.

A makeup artist added a blood effect to the corner of her lip. She held the sword’s handle, embedded it into the ground, knelt on one knee, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her other hand.

Although wounded, she was still smiling.

Mysterious and profound, voluptuous yet wicked. There was a breathtaking blend of bewitching beauty and cruelty — a looming sensation of an image filled with thrill and drama.
